Implementing ISO 27001 is now easier than ever – here’s why

ISO 27001 is fast gaining traction in the United States, with an impressive 36% year-on-year growth in certifications.

With companies like Google and Microsoft already holding the cherished ISO 27001 certification, the Standard is gaining international clout for its capacity to strengthen a business’s security stance owing to strict and specific compliance requirements.

Holding an accredited ISO 27001 certification holds many other benefits, however, the most attractive of which is that it can eliminate the need for extensive data security audits when entering into new agreements with a client. This is especially true for organizations with international business interests.

Certification demonstrates an organization’s proven commitment to information security, meaning that it can identify, address, and mitigate its information security risk while focusing on opportunities for continual improvement.

While many view ISO 27001 certification as the ideal data security benchmark, some are put off by perceived barriers to taking up an ISO 27001 implementation project.

Because of concerns over implementation costs and resource shortages, companies often opt for piecemeal information security solutions instead of implementing a holistic information security management system (ISMS), which is promoted by ISO 27001.

Without a comprehensive approach to information security, companies end up unwittingly purchasing and managing overlapping security solutions, resulting in sky-high and unnecessary security costs, often leaving them as vulnerable as before.
